Heck, I was told it was gout. I did not like that DX, then far more recently, since my blood work, and I have had SO much, did not show positive for elevated uric acid, was told more reliably I am bilateral peripheral neuropathy in the legs. Can't feel the ground to save my soul. Use a cane for balance. Then there is the swelling of the feet and ankles and discomfort trying to wear shoes so I resort to crocs, and then go barefoot in my office...... Who cares? Better for me....

Bottom line, had this been the stopping point on the road of SCS Trial, I woulda still done the Trial because that nerve pain hurt so AWFUL BAD!!!! I feel blessed now that I have it. So what if I can no longer downhill ski, dance with my spouse, and so forth, I can live better and more tolerably..... AND, the good part is I withdrew from all pain meds and got my career back. So we own our own home again.

Prayin for ys,

A blessing, that,
